AWS Serverless Microservices with Patterns and Best Practices - Create an API Gateway

The video tutorial guides viewers through creating and deploying a RESTful API using AWS API Gateway. It covers setting up resources and methods, integrating with Lambda functions, and performing CRUD operations. The tutorial concludes with deploying the API for public access, ensuring all configurations are correctly set for seamless operation.

What is the first step in setting up a REST API in API Gateway?

• Opening the API Gateway management console

• Creating a new Lambda function

• Testing the API with Postman

• Deploying the API

Why is it important to use Lambda proxy integration when creating methods?

• It allows direct access to the DynamoDB table

• It automatically scales the API

• It provides a user-friendly interface

• It ensures all requests are redirected to the Lambda function

Which HTTP method is typically used to retrieve data from a server?

• PUT

• DELETE

• POST

• GET

What is the purpose of creating sub-resources like 'get by ID' in API Gateway?

• To enhance security

• To perform specific CRUD operations

• To increase storage capacity

• To reduce latency

What should be ensured when setting the Lambda region for API Gateway?

• It is set to the default region

• It is different from the API Gateway region

• It is the same as the API Gateway region

• It matches the region of the DynamoDB table

What is the final step before testing the API?

• Configuring API Gateway permissions

• Creating a new Lambda function

• Deploying the API to a new stage

• Setting up a DynamoDB table

What tool can be used to test the deployed API endpoints?

• Postman

• AWS CloudWatch

• Amazon S3

• AWS Lambda
